Content

Change is inevitable and often appears to be a constant feature of many workplaces. As a result we can often feel like we are living in a constant state of ‘change fatigue’. This book will cover the essential; theory and practical tools, skills and techniques needed to manage resistance to change, in your own unique environment. You will explore, using your own example, four key approaches which I have used numerous times on my own very large and small scale projects, as well as seeing them successfully help others that I have taught.

Remember all change meets resistance… if there is no resistance, there is no change!
